The former Ajax coach was added to the manager Avram Grant’s staff in October to work in tandem with Steve Clarke, the only survivor from the Jose Mourinho regime, but his abrasive nature has failed to win him popularity.Grant would like to bring in another coach this summer, one from his native Israel, but his immediate concern is surviving that long himself. The shock FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Barnsley has focused attention even more sharply on the need to win the Premier League or the Champions League. Derby visit Chelsea tomorrow night, and Grant knows victory would move them to within five points of the leaders Arsenal, with a game in hand.Roman Abramovich, the owner, wants to persist with Grant into next season but he cannot tolerate many more bad results, or a season without a trophy.
